On the way to The Twelve Apostles, which are located along the spectacular Great Ocean Road. The Twelve Apostles are giant rock that rise majestically from the Southern Ocean and are the central feature of the rugged Port Campbell National Park.

The images taken are under very cloudy environment and the worst was it is drizzling every now and then. Sunrise and sunset offer some great views as the Twelve Apostles change several colours from dark in shadow to brilliant sandy yellow under a full sun.

But, unfortunately it was a cloudy day. :(

Japanese Garden, Singapore

Japanese Garden is built on an artificial island and located next to the Chinese Garden just cross over the bridge. Both are accessible by train, alight at Chinese Garden station, west of Singapore.

Unlike Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden design is more minimalist and abstract, with emphasis on simplicity and offer the sense of nature. It is based on the gardening techniques which prevailed from the Muromachi period (1392 – 1568) to the Momoyama period (1568 – 1615) in Japan.

Several arched bridges over lily-filled ponds and streams as well as traditional summer houses all add to the serene and tranquil surroundings of the garden.

The most attracting scene for photographers are those red colored arched bridges and some huge rocks there, which enhance the landscape of the garden.

Strongly recommend for Landscape and Nature Photography and try to visit there if you happen to be in Singapore.

Welcome again to my photography blog.



I used to photograph, seascape, sunset, sunrise and also love to shoot night mode on architectural sites. But, since that was a raining day, I have no choice but just to try those colorful flowers and orchids with some droplets on.



This particular image was taken at Singapore Botanical Garden. You will see some noise-liked affect at the background if you are that detail, actually it is not. (in fact I can remove it using photo shop, but I am a bit lazy to do it) The real story was I took it from behind the glass panel at "cool house" in Botanical garden Singapore. So there is a glass wall between the orchid and the lens.



Why cool house?? Yes it is damn cold inside the glass house. It is named "cool house" and artificially made cold inside in order for those orchids of cold weather to survive. In fact I have seen these orchids in my home town, which is about 6000 feet above sea level and nothing is new for me except the "cool house".



Enjoy.
